It
was Thursday evening. I had a busy day helping Remain. I was wearing
a Remain T shirt as I walked past Neath Workies a man standing
outside looked at me. He shouted “Good on you mate. If they think
that “fucking Farage and that twat Boris is going to look after
them then they are stupid” I think that encounter has helped a
great deal over the weekend. A friend sent me a message over the
weekend it said “Whenever
I read how exiteers will suffer due to leaving the EU I have a (not
very admirable) sense of schardenfreude. Am I really that nasty?
I plead guilty I replied its the only way to stay sane in this the
age of Stupid.
Now
we know that IDS has denied that leave ever said that the £350
million pounds a day we spent on the EU will go to the NHS. Farage
himself has said similar. We wil have a choice of either Boris
Johnson or Theresa May as Prime Minister. The revolt of the council
estate has led to a victory of the toffs and billionaires. We have a
crisis both constitutional and economic. The British state is
cracking. This is not Independence day its Isolation day. Scotland is
on the brink, Northern Ireland is debating Irish reunification. A
petition has been launched for an Independent Wales. In Neath the
vote for Remain was just ahead but Port Talbot voted 2 to 1 to leave.
Steven Kinnock moans that Jeremy Corbyn did not support the Remain
campaign properly, yet Corbyn constituency voted 3 to 1 to remain
while Port Talbot voted 2 to 1 to leave. What a hypocrite and arch
assassin he is. Does he have his eyes oh a role as Deputy Leader of
the Labour Party I wonder? Will big daddy fix it for him?
I
know I am possessed by the spirit of schardenfreude.
This morning. I know my shadow very well. There are reports of
ethnic minorities being threatened, Poles being told to go home, a
Muslim woman surrounded by chanting youths. What was it Farge said a
victory for “ordinary decent people” no it was a victory, for the
isolationist, the little Englander, the billionaire and the
prejudiced. There were a few on the Leave side I respect and until
Christmas I was considering a leave vote. Then I saw it the demons of
hate and prejudice unleashed and I knew what I had to do.
However
out of the crisis I hope will come a shattering of the British state,
a unified Ireland, an Independent Scotland and a free eco-socialist
Wales. Out of disintegrations new possibilities, many silver linings
and a massive realignment of the left. The demise of the Union Jack
after 300 years I celebrate we in Wales have never been on it .
Tonight I will be shouting for Iceland to complete the process.
But
I have said it before and I say it again I have never seen so many
Turkeys voting for an early Christmas.......this is truly the age of
stupid.
